Calyptocephala is a genus of beetle in the subfamily Cassidinae of family Chrysomelidae. [1] [2]
Carl Henrik Boheman was a Swedish entomologist.
The Cassidinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles. Some members, such as in the tribe Hispini, are notable for the spiny outgrowths to the pronotum and elytra.
